This is the problem with Jaws wanting the user to think everything is Jaws.
The Window-Eyes mouse keys move the mouse pointer. This is why the toggle key says Mouse pointer or WE cursor. The WE cursor works just like the mouse and uses the same keys. The point of it is to be able to move like using the mouse but without triggering events that moving the mouse pointer will.
When you use the standard arrow keys they only move the caret (if there is one) or do whatever they do without a screen-reader. The only exception is is they've been defined to do something else within Window-Eyes.

The mouse cursor is analogous to the JAWS cursor. the WE cursor is analogous to the invisible cursor. You can think of W-E as having the PC cursor and JAWS cursors active simultaneously; which cursor is moved depends on whether you use the arrows on the numeric pad or the arrows to the left of it.

WE cursor Pressing numpad minus is this the same as the JAWS cursor? If yes, when the WE cursor is active which keys do you use to navigate the screen. I will definitely listen to the audio tutorials later again to review. I know there were options for screen, active window and the like but do not remember how to bring up this list. May be referrring to the wrong cursor at the moment but all of this will sink in. I know insert+minus maybe something like route cursor to focus? When testing insert+numpad 7 or insert+numpad 8 and insert+numpad 9 for the clips ‘graphics / objects’ how do you route the WE cursor to the graphic element? I used insert+numpad / then numpad / and it worked within the application I was testing WE with. Is there a better way? I find the ctrl+numpad 5 helpful. _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
